how many applications are running in the background?
Do you make alot of calls? this causes the battery to drain faster than anything else (emails, sms, wi-fi on etc).
do you have 3G dropping or low signal of 3G? trying to establish a connection with 3G can also drain the battery.
do you have wi-fi or bluetooth constantly on?

i was experiencing poor battery life when i upgraded to .247. i downgraded to .221 and it's been pretty good, though i REALLY miss the menu quick launch and the escape closing the app button. *sigh*
i'm considering perhaps upgrading again to see if mebbe it was a fluke (the poor battery life) since i've read that so many have had just the opposite result.
